I work for Spoke Software (www.spoke.com), and a lot of our traffic is driven by Google searches, so we keep an eye on that. Last Thursday, we noticed that our traffic was down. We ran a quick check on keywords using WebPosition to see how many were returned in the top 30 by Google, and to our surprise, the number was about a quarter of what we were used to. On Friday, I ran the test again and the number was back to usual, as is our traffic.

Did anyone else experience this glitch or notice anything, or might it have been specifically only related to our site? We were down on Saturday for maintenance, and we suspect Google was trying to crawl then. It looks like this started Wednesday afternoon and ran through early Friday.
